10-Twenty-10 marks two celebrated milestones in the history of Claire Oliver Gallery. The Gallery is proud to celebrate ten years in New York and twenty years in business with an exhibition of new work by ten artists who have been both partners in defining the Gallery’s artistic vision and influential representatives of the gallery’s unique, long-term approach to the creative process. Gallery co-owners Claire Oliver and Ian Rubinstein invite you to this tour de force exhibition featuring extraordinary examples of the Gallery’s commitment to concept and respect for process-driven art.

Their unique partnership with each other as well as their partnership with their artists has resulted in interviews by “Good Morning America” and by Joy Glidden for PBS’s “Art Index TV,” lectures at the Brooklyn Museum, a feature in Noah Becker’s movie New York is Now, and a chapter in the latest book by branding expert Jon Berndt. Ian Rubinstein shares his enthusiasm: “The unique perspective I have been afforded by watching great artistic minds work and grow has been the catalyst in my own growth and the growth of our gallery. Twenty years ago with Claire I found a partner in life and industry. Her drive and passion inspire me every day. Today I am proud of what we have built. My artists are my extended family and together we are making art history.”

It is with this extended family that Claire Oliver Gallery has grown to what it is today. “Claire is a true visionary advocate for the arts who has worked tirelessly on behalf of my work and has advanced my art world presence enormously. Her dedication and energy are extraordinary and incredible and I feel very lucky to be a part of her gallery” (Judith Schaechter). “As an artist, you need a partner who believes in and supports your ideas and visions. Claire Oliver is a gallerist who has this vision, who tries her best to make the vision become reality without compromise” (Norbert Brunner).

In addition to having represented artists in the past three editions of The Venice Biennale, this year alone the gallery has organized exhibitions for its artists at the following museums: Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Washington D.C.; Museum of Arts and Design, New York, NY; The Mint Museum, Charlotte, NC; Oklahoma City Museum of Art, Oklahoma City, OK; Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo, OH; The Columbus Museum, Columbus, GA; Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia, PA; Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue, WA; Spencer Museum of Art, The University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS; Museum of Fine Arts, Tallahassee, FL; Chazen Museum of Art, Madison, WI.
